stop asking people’s pronouns. real life isnt the internet. asking someone’s pronouns in real life with people around is fucking degrading. we all know you wouldnt ask a cis person’s pronouns. when you ask, a trans person hears “i’m not sure if you’re actually the gender you’re presenting as. do you mind if i embarrass you and get really invasive on a personal level?” not to mention you might out the person youre asking to whoever else is around.
if youre really fucking lost, ask their name, or just guess by by how they present. the worst that can happen is you get corrected and you can be respectful about it. these are basic social conventions that should be left unsaid.
in conclusion, trans people are regular people and you should treat us normally. thanks for coming to my ted talk.
Aries: imagining what it would be like to fly around everywhere with fairy wings
Taurus: wearing mismatched socks and 3D glasses all the time
Gemini: wearing a party hat to funerals
Cancer: pretending to be a cat no matter how inappropriate the situation
Leo: licking your monitor to try and taste the pictures on the screen
Virgo: yelling at everything, especially inanimate objects
Libra: constantly consulting a magic eight ball for advice
Scorpio: carrying both lipstick and a miniature chainsaw in your bag
Sagittarius: prancing around the house with a “magic” wand even though you know magic isn’t real
Capricorn: buying tons of exotic milk, like milk from cows or horses
Aquarius: putting clown horns on your shoes so you honk every time you take a step
Pisces: getting really confused and disoriented by zodiac posts and not really being sure why
if your favorite kid was dave strider when you first started homestuck, youre probably a trans guy. if its rose lalonde, youre probably a lesbian. jade harley? youre a furry. john egbert? you still love him with all your heart and you are very vocal about it.
Stop insulting Adam Driver because you don’t like Kylo Ren
He’s a real fucking person with anxiety and making fun of his appearance because he plays a villain is a shitty, shitty, shitty thing to do.
To add to this,
Jack Gleeson (actor playing joffrey baratheon) apparently left acting largely because he was being harrassed in public for his character being such a little shit.
Don’t harrass an actor for playing an evil character. Congratulate them for being a good enough actor to incite genuine hatred from their roles.
I was JUST thinking about Joffrey’s actor. This sort of thing happens all the time with soap opera actors playing villains too.
why does it seem like humanity’s collective ability to distinguish fiction from reality is deteriorating at an exponential rate lately
